Hello Julians!

Over the past couple months we’ve made a ton of updates to the PlotlyBase.jl and PlotlyJS.jl packages

We have a whole slew of new features including

- faceted charts,
- support for ColorSchemes.jl,
- templates
- a new [`make_subplots`](https://plotly.com/julia/subplots/) command automating the precise creation of detailed subplots
- subplot aware `update_(xaxes|yaxes|geos|polars|ternaries|mapboxes|scenes|shapes|annotations)!` methods
- an upgrade to the 2.X series of the plotly.js javascript library
- new `add_(hline|vline|hrect|vrect)!` functions
- support for [chart config options](https://plotly.com/javascript/configuration-options/) (see `PlotConfig` type and its docstring)
- and more!

Many of these changes are already documented over at the newly revamped [Plotly julia graphing library in Julia](https://plotly.com/julia) documentation site. Dozens more documentation pages are in progress and will be deployed soon, so keep an eye on that space.

Please take a look at the new functionality and report back on the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/sglyon/PlotlyBase.jl), here, or the [plotly community forum](https://community.plotly.com/) if you have questions or spot something that might be wrong

Finally, we have made major updates to the [Dash.jl](https://github.com/plotly/Dash.jl) docs over at [https://dash-julia.plotly.com/](https://dash-julia.plotly.com/) – go check them out and get Dashing
